Broke my distal tibia & got severe high ankle sprain. cast for 6 months. how long will my ankle, hip, and back be in pain when i walk? :(

Longer recovery: Fracture may heal in 6-8 weeks but high ankle can take additional weeks. Associated hip knee foot pain is compensatory so it may realistically take 3-6 momyjs
